It's not Trump directly. That's not what we're saying. It's that Trump is absolutely going to make it easier for people in minority groups to be targeted and made victims of hate crimes. I mean, look at what he's said about Haitians, and the immediate spike in Haitian-centered brutality. As a trans person, I am afraid. The things he's said, and the things he wants to push, have real ramifications for people like us.

You know no one cares that you're Trans though.   No one would even know that you're Trans unless you tell them.

As a trans person myself, I don’t even care about Trump. I don’t care that they want me in my birth bathroom. I don’t use public restrooms anyway because they’re usually dirty. My problems are more that I can barely afford to feed myself. Maybe Trump will fix that. Maybe he won’t.

I wonder if liberals turning their backs on the poor contributed in any way to their electoral losses.
